Sons of the Forest Update Adds Hard Survival Mode, Rebalances Base Game
Endnight Games’ Sons of the Forest has a big new update, making the game tougher. First, sleeping outdoors gives less rest than indoors, and there’s a lower chance of meds in crates. The duration of cooking buffs has also gone from eight to four hours.
Large Demons also sometimes pop up above ground after reaching the end game. Those who want even more of a challenge can now choose Hard Survival difficulty. It reduces the food spawns in crates, lowers the spawn rate of fish and animals, increases the penalty on raw and rotten meats, and decreases stamina and health regen in cold weather.
When loading into the game mode, item storage crates won’t respawn, so you’ll need to make the best of what you have or seek out more resources. Check out the full patch notes below for other changes and improvements.
Sons of the Forest is available now on PC via Steam Early Access. It sold over two million copies in the first 24 hours of release. Check out our review here.
